Hello Andrew, When I open iBooks, there is a toolbar at the top left of the window, and to the right of it is Bookshelf scroll area. I interact with this and land on the Sort By button. Navigating right, I find a grid of book titles, and if I interact with one, I find a button. Pressing VO-Space opens the book. In this window, there are lots of buttons. Between the Previous Page button and the Next Page button is the reading area. If I interact with this, I can press VO-a for continuous reading, or use various VO commands to read by sentence, paragraph, word, etc. VO-Cmd-h will jump to the next heading, but I find that Quick Nav just does not work.
